mitt romney and jon huntsman were in new hampshire. others were in ohio. in addition to political considerations to be in these places at this time, all the rows of campaign financial decisions helping fuel these decisions for them? romney in huntsman, for example, spending more time in new hampshire. guest: absolutely, and it comes down to this organization to the tea party. it cost a lot of money to make an effort to win in a caucus state like iowa. i know it is not just a caucus state, but one that has a very heavy emphasis in the republican party on social issues, where mitt romney and jon huntsman are seen as susceptible to a challenge from the right. they are seen as more moderate and cast themselves as appealing more to independent in swing voters. in iowa, they have to do a cost- benefit analysis. they have to decide is it worth it to put the number of boots on the ground, to make a run of running, not just the caucus in early next year or early february, but to win the straw polls that happens in august, seen as a key indicator for the caucuses in

last time that he pressed for it, everyone in the room was going for it except for eric cantor and jon kyl. this time the crowd of opponents was bigger but one important person, john boehner. the important thing to remember here is scaling back from $4 trillion to 2.5 trillion does not make any of the big issues go away. sooner or later republicans are going to have to swallow some revenue increases. host: what is the purpose of today's news conference from the president? caller: the purpose for the president is to set a delicate balance. on the one hand he wants to claim the political high ground, i assume, saying that he tried and pushed for historic bipartisan achievement. unfortunately, we will like it there. the reason is that republicans will not sign on to a bold, $1 trillion tax overhaul. so, he wants to show the voters that he is the big negotiator. everything that he said the revlon in 2008. but he does not want to poison the well to make these negotiations for the rest of the week. >> what is the main message coming from republicans going into this meeting? >> it would seem
